Letters: Pensacola has a 'Cake Boss'

We have a dynamic cake baker/decorator right here in our city. She is comparable to The Cake Boss of NYC.

Carlos is awesome, but so is Mrs. Julonda Washington Carter of Pensacola Florida. She has one cake in particular that has gone viral. It's her Princess CupCake Cake.

Please visit her Facebook page: Julonda Washington Carter.

A humble woman with such a beautiful talent from God deserves to publicly known.

She has hundreds of customers, relatives and friends that will attest to her abilities to make beautiful great tasting cakes.

She makes fantasies and dreams come alive with her cakes.

Feel free to call me or go through Facebook and look around.

I'm sure you wont be left disappointed... a little hungry maybe, but not disappointed.

Thanks.

ECUA arrogant

On February 3, I wrote to Douglas Patterson of the Escambia County Utilities Authority complaining about unnecessary damage to an ornamental tree.

He wrote back ignoring the unnecessary aspect, stating that ECUA could do what they want over the right-of-way. The response was arrogant and it did not address my concern.

I wrote to him again, complaining about his arrogance and unresponsiveness, copying Lydia Fortin, his alleged supervisor. Both ignored the second letter.

On April 1, I wrote all Escambia County Commissioners asking them rhetorically if they, too, found ECUA arrogant. I also copied every ECUA board member.

We have had no further replies from ECUA, including from Elvin McCorvey, our nominal representative.

Let me be clear: The anger expressed here is about the arrogance of Patterson and his supervisors in ignoring our complaint — whatever it was — and responding that because a right-of-way was involved, they can do as they please.

It is not about the cutting of limbs.

ECUA's position seems to be that they can do as they wish on a right-of-way regardless of citizens' opinions, do it with impunity and then refuse to address the substance of complaints. Their idea of community board representation is a farce.
